Fletcher Allen Health Care is a private, publicly supported, non-profit teaching hospital and physician network, serving more than 850,000 people in the State of Vermont and in northeastern New York State.

Fletcher Allen's experience with two-way interactive videoconferencing began in 1968 by linking nine hospitals in Vermont and New Hampshire via a microwave transmission system. The Interact system was operational through 1985.  In 1994 their telemedicine program evolved to a higher level with the implementation of a pathology network which linked three hospitals via T-1 lines. At the same time Fletcher Allen was experimenting with desktop videoconferencing systems and, by 1995, had established a regional telemedicine network which currently includes 15 sites in Vermont and upstate New York.  Fletcher Allen's Medical Center Hospital of Vermont campus is a major tertiary and primary care facility with more than 800,000 patient visits per year in clinics, hospital settings, and physician offices. Telemedicine is a small part of the larger plan for Fletcher Allen to provide a communications network for the exchange of medical information across Vermont and upper New York State.
